Industry Applicability
•
Identify What Drives Customer Behaviour: Businesses often see a correlation between two variables (e.g., increased sales after marketing campaigns) but don’t know whether one truly causes the other.
•
Enhance Customer Retention: It's unclear which interventions (e.g., personalised offers, customer service improvements) are the most effective in reducing customer churn.
•
Personalise Customer Experiences with Precision: Personalisation strategies often rely on observed patterns, which may not directly reflect what causes customers to engage more with the brand.
•
Optimise Marketing Spend for Higher Returns: Companies struggle to determine which marketing channels (e.g., social media, TV, or email) are most effective in driving sales or sign-ups.
•
Measure the True Impact of Pricing Changes: When businesses change pricing strategies, they can’t always be sure if a Measure the True Impact of Pricing Changes: When businesses change pricing strategies, they can’t always be sure if a price reduction or increase is the real reason for changes in customer demand.
•
Increase Product Success: Companies invest in new product features but struggle to measure whether those features directly improve customer satisfaction or sales.
•
Understand the Long-Term Impact of Short-Term Actions: Businesses can observe short-term changes (e.g., sales spikes after a campaign) but may not know the long-term causal effects of those actions.
•
Improve Financial Forecasting: Financial forecasting models are often built on correlations between variables, which may not be reliable for predicting outcomes.
•
Optimising Treatment Plans: Physicians often observe correlations between treatments and outcomes but need to know which treatment causes better patient outcomes.
•
Personalising Patient Care: Healthcare providers want to personalise treatment but struggle to identify which factors (e.g., lifestyle, genetics) drive better outcomes for individual patients.
•
Reducing Hospital Readmissions: Hospitals aim to reduce readmissions but are unsure which interventions (e.g., follow-up calls, home visits) have the most impact.
•
Assessing New Medical Technologies: Hospitals invest in new medical technologies but need to know whether these technologies truly improve patient outcomes.
•
Evaluating Public Health Policies: Public health agencies need to assess the effectiveness of interventions like vaccination campaigns or health education programs.
•
Product Reliability and Failure Analysis: Engineering companies track product failures but need to identify the root causes to improve reliability.
•
Optimising Manufacturing Processes: Manufacturers need to improve production efficiency but struggle to identify which process changes will have the greatest impact.
•
Reducing Downtime: Engineering firms face costly equipment failures and want to know which maintenance actions prevent breakdowns most effectively.
•
Energy Efficiency Improvements: Companies in energy-intensive industries seek to reduce energy consumption but are uncertain which interventions (e.g., equipment upgrades, process changes) will have the greatest impact.
•
Supply Chain Optimisation: Engineering firms often face disruptions in their supply chain and need to understand the causes of delays and inefficiencies.
•
Designing Safer Products: Engineering companies, especially those in industries like aerospace or automotive, need to understand which design elements are critical to product safety.
•
Optimise Operations and Reduce Costs: Companies make operational changes but don't always know if those changes are driving improvements in productivity or cost reductions.
